<p>What are the boundaries for when one says סברי or ברשות before making a blessing?
(As an example, my siddur has סברי מרנן ורבנן ורבותי printed before the blessing of hagafen for kiddush.)</p>

The key phrase is in the Midrash (<a href="http://kodesh.snunit.k12.il/tan/b0023.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">מדרש תנחומא פ' פקודי סי' ב'</a>) which says: </p>
<blockquote>
<p>כוס של קדוש או של הבדלה [והוא ירא מסם המות שלא יהיה בכוס], והוא אומר סברי מרנן, ואומר הקהל לחיים</p>
<p>Over Kiddush or Havdalah [if one is afraid of poison in the cup], one says "Savri", and the people respond "L'chaim."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>ברשות however, should be said, when you are being a host to a meal, and want to gain the permission of the people gathered to join you.</p>
